Lets's calculate LCM of 72,4617
3 | 72, 4617 |
3 | 24, 1539 |
8, 513 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 8 x 513 = 36936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 367/72,560/4617 is 1/36936
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 72,4617 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,4617) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,4617) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(72,4617) = ( 72 × 4617 ) / 9
LCM(72,4617) = 332424 / 9
LCM(72,4617) = 36936
